“Deborah was lovely on an initial visit with my shy cat - she spoke warmly to our Ash, but didn't try to force contact, and let our shy girl wander off. Given Deborah's background and familiarity with shy cats, I feel very comfortable leaving our girl in her hands while we're out of town. I feel confident that Ash will warm up to her as Deborah visits, and feel comfortable that Deborah will be patient and present for our kitty in whatever form she needs.”
“I wanted to leave you a $20 tip but Rover would only allow up to a 14% tip :) Thank you so much for you thoughtful and kind care of Oni. I’m so grateful that Oni got to stay in his home and had you to make sure he was fed and loved and got some attention. I came home to a super chill Oni act which I know was in part due to you :) I will definitely reach out in the future when I am out of town.”
“Kate is the BEST! Idefix loved every second of hanging out and playing in the yard! I’m so glad she is flexible to come by for regular visits and playtime at our house! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Thank you, Kate!”
About: I may not have dogs of my own, but I’ve been the go-to sitter for my sister’s and in-laws’ pups over the years. I’ve cared for my sister’s diabetic dog, following medication and feeding routines closely, and looked after my in-laws’ dogs while they were away on vacation—making sure they were walked, loved, and well cared for. I’m calm, reliable, and treat every dog like family. Whether your pup needs playtime, belly rubs, or a little extra medical attention, I’m here to help! Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I currently work four days a week and am available in the afternoons and evenings after work. I’m also free all day on Sundays and Mondays. I love spending my free time with animals—whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or simply keeping them company. I’m reliable, flexible, and committed to providing consistent, loving care whenever I’m available. Although I live in Granville, I work in Queensbury, so I’m available in that area as well. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow any instructions closely—whether it’s feeding times, walks, medications, or playtime—and make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I give them plenty of attention, keep their space clean, and send updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. My goal is to treat your home with respect and your pet like family
“Leah was very responsible and caring for our dogs. Our young husky and elderly dog were both we loved while we were away! 10/10 would recommend! Leah clearly very capable of taking care of a wide range of needs. We loved getting the photo updates every visit.”
About: I've been happily caring for animals, big and small, since childhood. I've always been relied on for long-term dog sitting while neighbors were out of town. Friends of mine with exotic pets, or pets with special needs, also rely on me to take care of their animals while they are busy. Similarly, I have work experience at a doggy daycare and a puppy school for about half of a year each. Both of these businesses practiced positive reinforcement and gentle training strategies. My family's two sweet dogs taught me the value of ensuring that pets are clean, healthy, and fulfilled. It makes such a huge difference in everyone's lives! My schedule is very open currently. I am flexible for the majority of the week, but Sundays are my day off. I also have class Monday evenings, but it is remote, so it does not necessarily interfere with house sitting. When first meeting dogs, I work patiently and generously with them to ensure they are comfortable with my presence. Throughout my visit, I use positive reinforcement strategies to ensure dogs stay comfortable and happy with their environment while I am present.
“Kaylea did an excellent job for us with our three cats while we were away for three weeks. She kept in regular contact and we came home to find everything in great order. I highly recommend Kaylea and look forward to having her back again for future cat care.”

About: I have been taking care of animals for nearly a decade. I love the tiniest to the largest, indoor to outdoor. I will happily follow your routines and requests and care for your animals as if they were my own. I am the proud owners of four cats, two dogs, a lizard, and caged invertebrates. No animal too big or too small, I love them all. I build each day's routine around the jobs at hand, flexibility is my main attribute. I will go out of my way to follow your routine to keep your pet on schedule. I have one job that takes me away from the house that is a per diem, the full duration of which is only two and a half hours. I will do my best to make sure that if boarding your animal at my house I do not have that job coincide but if it does I have a safe spot to separate animals for that short period. I have a fenced in backyard and a large open concept house. I have the ability to separate your animal from my animals if that is requested. My personal animals are used to visitors, furry and human.
“We wrote to Mark about our pup Leo and he was immediately open to come meet us first to make sure it was a good fit and was a great communicator, answering all of our questions and us answering his! He even came a bit early when our pup was stressed being alone. I highly recommend him!”
“Jackie is the best! She loves my kitties and takes the time to get to know them. I feel at ease knowing they are being cared for by her. She is super responsive, professional and very knowledgeable about animal care. I also love the pics she send me while I am away.”
About: I have 2 cats and 3 dogs myself, and will treat yours like one of my own. I have experience living with every breed of dog from husky, to pitbull, to cockapoo, to chocolate lab, and currently have a German Sheppard as well as 2 Mini Australian Sheppards. I work from home as an engineer, and my work hours are pretty flexible as a result of that. Im conveniently located on Rt 7a! My typical day ends around 3:30 so I have plenty of time in the evening for your pup! Watch it as my own dog & burn some of that energy! I have experience with e-collars and walking dogs on a leash. Some days I will be accompanied by my dogs to help keep your dogs company - with your permission.
About: Hello folks, I am an experienced animal caretaker with a background in fostering pets. I have cared for dogs, cats, other domestic pets, and farm animals. My clients, friends and family have entrusted me to watch their animals since I was 12. I believe that direct communication with pet owners will allow me to provide a safe and engaging experience for your animals. I work part-time from 10 am - 2 pm throughout the week. My work days change frequently but I am available outside of these hours for your caretaking needs. I will not be providing services in my home at this time. For pet sitting and walking services, I am available to stay in your home or do daily check ins. My goal is to be an accessible source for your animal while you travel or are at work. I will be available 24/7 via email or text after you book my services. Please provide me with any medical, dietary, or enrichment needs for your animal when you book my services. I always adhere to my clients wishes and will do my best to stick with your pet’s daily routine while in my care. If you have a dog who is friendly, I can provide additional enrichment with my three year old pup Zeus.

Shae M.
“Shae was so great with my dog! Very punctual and communicative, super glad to have her! Didn’t have to worry at all during my work day.”
David M.
“David comes to my home often to watch my two ferrets, Agnes and Mango. The level of care given is absolutely above and beyond. Mango is elderly and sick with multiple types of cancer and I often ask David to give Mango her medicine. Usually when I ask people to do this, they just give her medicine and leave the room, which is all I ever ask people to do. David gives Mango her medicine but also take both of the ferrets out of the pen to play with them and give them scratches, especially if I'm away on a trip and the girls need extra attention. David has a palpable love for animals and a passion for their wellbeing. I promise that if David watches your animal, they will not only be taken care of extraordinarily, but they will have a new best friend.”

Pauline W.
“Polly has helped me with my dogs and cats for about 2 years. When I worked 12 hour shifts she came and let the dogs out and spent time with them in the yard and cleaned up after them. She then would take time to bring them in for treats and got down with them for petting time which they loved. Cats didn’t go out but they also received treats and pets. In that time I had adopted a dog from rescue that was very nervous about new people and Polly was very receptive to working with him that in no time he was happy to see her. I also work in rescue so I would have a fourth dog sometimes fostering and Polly is always up to helping and learning what each one needs. I hope you are lucky enough to have Polly help you with your pets”
